Are You Ready To Go Clean?While it is true that some germs can be dangerous, did you know that so are the chemicals in the cleaners that claim to kill them? The average household contains over 50 toxic chemicals, hidden in plain sight, in cleaning products.
What’s Under Your Sink?
A surprising number of the most harmful toxins ever created are found right in your own backyard — indeed, right under your kitchen sink.
A study by the Toronto Indoor Air Commission concluded that, due to increased exposure to household carcinogens, women who work at home have a 55% greater chance of developing cancer than women who spend the majority of their time outside the home.
No law requires manufacturers of cleaning products to list ingredients on their labels or to test their products for safety. It’s up to you to make sure your home is not only clean, but also non-toxic.
Essential Oils are one of the best naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial options for homemade cleaning recipes, and they smell great!
Essential Oils have been used for thousands to years in various cultures for a wide variety of purposes from aromatherapy to household cleaning, to natural medical treatments.
You can add Essential Oils to your laundry routine, sanitize the kitchen, and kill mold in the bathroom; all while disinfecting and making your home smell clean and fresh... without toxic chemicals and toxic fumes!
Glass Cleaner: Combine 1½ cups vinegar, ½ cup water, and 8 drops of your favorite citrus Essential Oil in a spray bottle and shake well before each use. Spray and wipe with a dry cloth or towel.
Making your own cleaners and air fresheners using pure Essential Oils is a safe, cost-effective way to reduce your family’s exposure to the toxic chemicals found in so many cleaning and personal care products.
Many Essential Oil cleaning recipes can be made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard.
Sink & Bathtub Cleaner: Combine 1 cup Baking Soda and 20-30 drops of Tri Remedy in a mixing bowl. Store in airtight container with a lid. Sprinkle onto sinks or tubs, scrub, and rinse.
Today, there is an ever-increasing need for us to look to natural methods for supporting and protecting our bodies and cleaning our homes.
Santizing Floor Cleaner: Combine 6-10 drops of Protector, Tri Remedy, Lemongrass, or Tea Tree Essential Oil with 1 tablespoon of Castile soap. Add ¼ cup white vinegar and mix into a bucket of warm water. Use to mop hard floor surfaces,
We invite you to save money and feel better when you switch from toxic store-bought cleaners to your own safer, homemade Stillroom versions using pure goDésana Essential Oils.

In The Dryer
Pure Essential Oils can be used
with minimal to no side effects
when used as directed. Unlike
drugs, Essential Oils do not build
up resistance in the body, but
retain their effectiveness even with
repeated applications.
Essential Oils are naturally
anti-viral, antibacterial, anti-fungal,
anti-inflammatory, antiseptic,
antispasmodic, anti-venom,
sedative, nervine, digestive,
diuretic, aphrodisiac, and much,
much more.
Tea Tree is an incredibly versatile,
very powerful antibacterial,
antiviral, and antifungal Essential
Oil distilled from the leaves of the
Australian paperbark tree.
Unlike antibiotics, Tea Tree does
not kill indiscriminately, but
can identify and kill destructive
bacteria while leaving the friendly
bacteria we need to stay healthy.
Tea Tree Essential Oil also works
especially well to get rid of mildew
and mold around the house.
Multiple clinical studies have
found Tea Tree Essential Oil to
be antimicrobial, antiviral and
anti-inflammatory. Its medicinal
and household uses don’t stop
there though... from clearing up
a respiratory infection to cleaning
floors, this Essential Oil packs a
powerful punch.
Healthy Home offers recipes that will allow you to make choices resulting in a healthier home for you, your children, grandchildren, and pets, paving the way for a healthier planet for generations to come.

By Melissa Schorr
Can getting too zestfully clean be dangerous to your health? Yes, say infectious disease
specialists, who worry that overuse of antibacterial soaps might actually help create
drug-resistant mutant germs. Indeed, recent research suggests these products may
encourage the growth of “super bugs” resistant to antimicrobial agents, a problem when
these bacteria run rampant, turning into a dangerous infection that cannot be treated with
available medication. Similar growth of drug-resistant strains has already occurred with
antibiotics.
The overuse and misuse of antibiotics has led to several drug-resistant microbes, such as
streptococcus pneumonia and strains of E. coli. Dr. Stuart Levy, president of the Alliance
for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics and a professor of molecular biology at Tufts University
School of Medicine in Boston, believes antibacterial soaps are dangerous. “Triclosan cre-
ates an environment where the resistant, mutated bacteria are more likely to survive,” says
Levy, who published a study on the germicide two years ago in the journal Nature.
